Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat.

Matisse Thybulle Not Ready To Return On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will remain sidelined for a third straight game on Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Matisse Thybulle Unavailable On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Jerami Grant Won't Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Grant continues to miss time due to a lingering hamstring issue.

Deandre Ayton Now Questionable Against Clippers
